Senators Wear.
Special TO the World
Wade Hampton has shaved oil his
whiskers, and with them has gone his re-
semblance TO Kaiser Wilhelm. His rosy
face looks smaller and fatterand the only
hair upon i Is the little whisks Of frosted
silver which shine out under his nose.
You would hardly know him for the
same man, and his face loses much Of its
character by the change
Senator Hoar looks like Greeley. only
better dressed. Cockicll Of Missouri,
with his long, struggling blond beard, his
tall frame and his .neglige hair, is the
counterfeit presentment of Uncle sam,
save that his breeches are not made OF
the American Flag, nor are they fastened
down upon his patent-leather boots by
straps. Senator John W. Daniel has the
face Of Edwin Booth, save that his nose
is trifie larger and the forehead broader
His hair Is brown and his eyes are gray
Senator Joe Brown looks like Jewish
patriarch or the typical Mormon but his
words show him TO be neither. lie is up
10 the times, and his gray head is full Of
practical brains. CullOm has often been
compared with Abraham Lincoln, and he
is fully as tall and nearly a. angular
His resemblance, however, comes from
his Characteristic gesture and expression,
and some OF the stories he tells resemble
those Of Old Abe. Senator Cush Davis
looks like Ben Butler, and the two have
been taken for one another Senator
DOlph Of Oregon, with his long sable
silver beard. would make a splendid rep
resentaiiye Of Hamlet's father. and Sena.
tor George Edmunds could make his for
tune 10y sitting as a model TO painters for
ST. Jerome.
Blair of New Hampshire looks like
President Hayes, and he sympathizcs with
him in his temperance principles. Al
drich Of Rhode Island Paddock Of Ne
braska, and Butler of South Carolina re
semble each other, and each has a rosy
face and gray mustache Matt Ransom
is handsome, but he has no counterpart
i'm history or public life, and Chace Of
Rhode Island, though he j. by no means
a bad looking Quaker could, in the
words OF the old Joke, be wOrshipped
without breaking the Commandments
for he is like no one in " the heavens
above, and the earth beneath or the Wa
tiers under the earth" Senator COlquitl's
smooth. statesmanlike face might Lave
stepped out of one Of the old colonial
portraits. and there is an air connected
with Senator Farwelrs pose which re-
minds one much Of Garfield
Speaking Of boards, Senator Allison
wears a fun set Of reddish brown wills
kcrs, into which few gray strands have
crept. They are stiff ana straight. and
about two inches long. Joe Blackburn's
chief ornament is fierce mustache.
Blair has hair Of sand and silver all over
his face. Don Cameron has a rel mus
tache Joe Brown has a long, white
beard Daniel is smooth shaver, and
Edmunds' whiskers are as white as the
cotton bursting from the pod Eustace
of Louisiana has a full beard of iron
gray. Frye sports gray mustache.
George Of Mississippi has blond whiskers,
and Arthur =. German keeps his face as
smoothly shaver now as it was when he
attended the sessions OF the Senate as a
page Gray of Delaware has a black
musiache. Eugene Hale sports full
H.
OF his long mustache, and he looks some
what like Chinese mandarin, save that
his ewes are not almonds nor his COM
plexion yellow. Henderson wears a
brown imperial, and John II. Mitchell Of
Oregon has the longest, glOssiest, dearest
brown beard in the Senate. Senator
MOrgan's mustache is white. Senator
Morrill, has side.whiskers. and Henry B.
Payne keeps his face as bare as the crown
Of Senator Sswyer's bald head
Senator Stanford has full beard, and
he could probably cash A ten-theusand-
dollar check for every hair in il. Stew
arts full whiskers are straw mixed with
frost. and StOckbridge has o beard of
dark gray. John Shermans whiskers
are stiff and white. George Vests blond
mustache oyerhangs his mouth, and Sen
ator Walthall has glossy brown hair
which Curls as il touches his collar. Matt
Quay has a dark mustache. Pugh of Al
ALBANIA has sandy whiskers in which the
gray strands are beginning 10 creep.
Senator ingalls, shaves every day and
nurses tenderly his little mustache and
the bit of hair upon his chin Locking
them all over and sizing up their intel
leclual strength, the amount of whiskers
seems TO have nothing 10 do with their
amount of ability. and had Deilah shaved
Sampson instead of cutting his hair be
would probably never have been con.
0uered and blinded by the Philisiines.
